Team Krista HepfordArt & Technology ConsultantCertified in art for grades K-12 Over ten years teaching experienceEducating online since 2006

I’m always looking for unique ways to reach students which is probably what lead me to the virtual edge. My upper level art students have traveled with me to Europe, practiced night photography at hot air balloon glows and visited fashion design shows. I am so proud to have students that have competed and won national and international contests.

As my own daughter began preschool, I enjoyed learning Montessori methods and designed creative projects for ages 3-6. Through experiences with older students I realized that many students would benefit from early creative training .

Since 2006 I have been a pioneer in building and teaching online art courses. . I currently work as a curriculum writer and art education/technology consultant.

I believe that everyone is blessed with creative ability and that the development of it will help their overall joy of learning and enrich their lives.

Please contact me if you have questions or would like assistance with your own program.

Explore the proportions of the body and add details.

Note: These projects are semi-symmetrical. (having near mirror image qualities but not exactly) HEAD: It’s interesting how different facial features can bring out a different nationality (from another land) or personality.

Try a 3D portrait by drawing a face on an egg, vegetable or other object. Drawing in 3D is a bit more challenging. Lil’ help?Click here> Project Alternative Art 2 Key Words

Creativity Express is a curriculum that integrates extremely well into the online K-12 art education of students at PA Distance Learning Charter School. The school has integrated the curriculum seamlessly into the lessons and units students complete in their art classes. The ability for Creativity Express to present information through oral and visual presentation mediums has been an asset to the students. Students are able to hear and see the online lessons then practice the concepts through virtual manipulates. Students then take a quiz that allows them to retake questions that do not get correct. This ability to present in many manners helps to address the differing learning styles of students within the school. The ability for students to retake missed assessment questions also allows for students to relearn through re-teaching the missed components. This supports mastery of the concepts rather than just testing. The integrated lessons plans and activities really lend themselves to a virtual environment by offering virtual hands on art activities for all students. The constructive response activities also help push students to critically think and respond about their own and others art. This aspect will really help to integrate the upcoming common core into the existing classes with critical written components. Finally, the artists for reference and artist trading cards are an invaluable source for students to make real word connections to actual artists throughout history. All in all Creativity Express works hand and hand with the curriculum of PA Distance Learning Charter School to create a standards based, authentic art curriculum offered in K-12.
